For the love of christianity, expansion of God’s kingdom and gospel and being a holy land , Aguleri Community, in Anambra East Local Government Area has always stood out as God’s own children.
Being the home town of Blessed Iwene Tansi, they received early missionaries showing their concern and passion for Christianity by giving them a portion of land called “Ugwu Ndi Uka” ,the present day Saint Joseph Cathedral and as such, the Aguleri World Forum, deemed it fit to erect a befitting billboard that will show even a stranger that there is a worship place around and a sign that can easily lead one to the cathedral.
Blessing the sign board, the Bishop, Aguleri Diocese, Most Reverend Dennis Isizor stated that because Ndi Aguleri believe in God, they have done noble by giving him the best, stating that with it God will bless them the more and will bring back souls to Christ as many through the sign board will stop and pray even as he said that he believes in ecumenism as he relates with other church heads around for the expansion of God’s kingdom and worship of Christ and prayed God to bless Ana Aguleri and all her children and cause them to bear more fruits.
The Traditional Ruler of Aguleri Community, Igwe Dr Michael Idigo, maintained that Aguleri World Forum has been very helpful in the development of the community pointing out that a sign board shows the religious aspect of Ndi Aguleri as they put Christ first in all they do and an indication to anyone passing that there is a church within the area praying for more blessings and grace to continue to do the work of God.
Speaking at the event, the representative of Aguleri World Forum, AWF, Chief Alex Onukwue said Ndi Aguleri World Forum are poised to usher in development, progress and cordial relationship in the community and Aguleri known as a holy land, wholeheartedly accepted all denomination for the love of Christ, his expansion and dissemination of gospel, stating that having risen to the status of a Diocese, they deemed it fit to provide an atmosphere where people can ease their burdens and communicate with Christ .
